da Vinci® is a registered trademark of Intuitive Surgical Inc. The dV-Trainer™ is not a product manufactured, sold or distributed by Intuitive Surgical Inc.

Training programs on the use of the dv-Trainer® simulator are provided by Mimic Medical Education and Development LLC, a Florida limited liability company dba MimicMED™. Although simulators are gaining widespread acceptance and in most cases should enhance a physician’s readiness to perform robotic surgery under the direction of a fully credentialed attending surgeon, MimicMed’s training programs pertain only to the use of the simulators and therefore do not of themselves constitute either specific medical training nor the credentialing of a physician for use of the da Vinci® Surgical System or any other robotic surgical system. The determination of a physician’s readiness to perform robotic surgery is solely the responsibility of the hospital, surgical center or medical facility where the procedure takes place, as to which neither MimicMED nor its affiliates has any role. The skill competency of a particular physician and any procedure-specific training needs are matters that are determined solely by each treating hospital, surgical center or medical facility on its own behalf!
